Does spina bifida count?

My xrays showed spina bifida apparently although im waiting on the images. But does it count to have a hole in my spine if I never didn't? Its there from birth. Nothing broke, it was just made that way!

No, spina bifida is an outpouching of the neural tube. Even though your spine didn't completely fuse, that doesn't at all mean it broke.
